17.When dolphins get caught accidentally in fishing nets,the outcome is usually terrible.They either get injured or spend their lives in captivity (被關(guān)起來) entertaining humans.But while 13-year-old Sampal's story began that way,it has a perfect fairy-tale ending.
Sampal's story began in 2011,when she was accidentally caught by fishermen in the waters off South Korea.However,instead of letting her go,the men sold her to an aquarium.Here,she was placed in a small pool where she spent her days performing tricks for visitors.
Sampal was not destined to spend her life in captivity.it Shocked by the conditions she was living in,South Korean animal advocates began to help her get free.In 2013,the country's highest court issued a release order for not just Sampal,but also another two dolphins at the Korean Zoo.
At the end of May,the dolphins were handed to the Korean Animal Welfare Association where experts began their work to set the dolphins free,a two-month process that involves placing them inside a sea pen in the open waters.However,Sampal was too impatient to wait that long.On June 22nd,the clever little dolphin found a tiny tear in the net and escaped.
.For those of you wondering if Sarupal may have been a little hurried in her departure,here is some better news.Researchers recently tracked her down 60 miles from where she had escaped and found she was swimming happily with 50 0ther dolphins that they believe were members of the group she was originally swimming with three years ago.
As for the others'?One of them is reportedly hanging out with two dolphins from its original group,while the other still seems to be looking for the right group to join.The best news is that all of them seem to have forgotten their captivity experience and appear to be playing happily!

分析 文章講了一只叫Sampal的海豚的童話般的經(jīng)歷.海豚如果被漁網(wǎng)意外捕獲,不是受傷就是要被關(guān)起來給人類娛樂.但Sampal的經(jīng)歷和其它海豚不一樣,它2011年在南韓水域被漁民意外捕獲,被送去水族館,在一個(gè)水池里給人類表演.好像命中注定,有人會幫它.動物保護(hù)組織幫它和其它海豚獲得了自由.
